De Tensio Vitae - From Tension, Life

This project expresses the intersection of faith, humanity, and landscape through a design that reflects community values, the poetic environment, and Catholic faith. A rational grid overlays the landscape, creating a framework where contrasting forms intersect, symbolizing the tension between conflict and resolution. At these intersections, the altar represents Christ’s sacrificial love, while the surrounding spaces offer a place for community gathering and fellowship. The design extends beyond the church's internal spaces, inviting the community into a shared experience, blending rationality and spirituality in a celebration of life and redemption.
